Francis accepts ‘Donna’ Wuerl’s resignation

Wuerl to Francis the Most Humble

‘Donna’ Wuerl, “Yes, and I said that. I made errors of judgment when we were dealing with all those cases before the Dallas Charter. Some of those errors in judgment were based on professional psychological evaluations, some of the errors were based on moving too slowly as we tried to find some verification of the allegations. Those were all judgmental errors, and I certainly regret them. I think it is also worth noting that all those priests who were faced with allegations in my time there, if there was any substantiation for them they were removed from any ministry that would put them in contact with young people. I think what we can say is that a careful reading of the [Pennsylvania grand jury] report and the Diocese of Pittsburgh’s response, which the Pennsylvania Supreme Court allowed to be attached to the grand jury report, shows that I acted in a very responsible way to remove predator priests. What is important now is to be able to move beyond the questions of doubt, fallibility and not concentrating on myself but helping this church to get to a new place.”

Francis the Most Humble to Wuerl

Francis, “Your nobility has led you not to choose the way of defense. Of this, I am proud and thank you. In this way, you make clear the intent to put God’s project first, before any kind of personal project, including what could be considered as for the good of the church. Your renunciation is a sign of your availability and docility to the Spirit who continues to act in the church.”

‘Donna’ Wuerl on Viganò

‘Donna’ Wuerl, “In my read of that testimony, particularly the part that touches me, it is not faithful to the facts. There can be reasons for that, and I think Cardinal Ouellet is touching on what may be the primary one. In his testimony, Archbishop Viganò clearly says that there were secret sanctions in some form. But he also says himself that he never communicated them to me. Yet this should have been his duty. I find it difficult to accept his version that he holds me responsible for implementing something he never passed on or his gratuitous insult that I must be a liar when I say that I never received these secret sanctions. Certainly I would never have guessed that there were sanctions against Cardinal McCarrick from all the times I encountered him at receptions and events hosted by Archbishop Viganò at the Apostolic Nunciature. The gap between what he says and what he did and his easy calumny call into question for me the real intent and purpose of his letter.  I think there’s something radically wrong with any document that doesn’t provide proof for accusations of that gravity.”

The key word being “allegation”

‘Donna’ Wuerl, “I have clarified over and over again that during the 12 years that I served as archbishop of Washington no one ever brought me any allegation of misconduct, sexual misconduct by Cardinal McCarrick.”

Now all that’s left is for Francis to choose another kosher

The shoah business, noahide promoting Donald Wuerl speaks about his fellow traditionalist and boss, Francis

Who’s the shoah business man?

Below is a transcript of the answer Donald Wuerl gave in a recent interview with Gerard O’Connell to the question of what he thought Francis’ accomplishments in his first four years were.  Notice that Wuerl says Francis great contribution has been reconnecting the church to the (Talmudic) energy of Vatican II and that Francis has refocused the church back onto this (Talmudic) path.  Both Wuerl and Francis are modernists and rabbinical traditionalists.

(Underlines are Call Me Jorge...’s for emphasis.)

“I think his great contribution to date has been the reconnecting of the church with the energy of the Second Vatican Council, the energy coming out of that council. I was a student, studying theology when that council was going on and we were all caught up in the excitement of aggiornamento—renewal.

I think what happened next was that following the council there were some exaggerations. Theologically there was the hermeneutic of discontinuity; liturgically there were all kinds of experimentation. And in a way what got lost was the council’s call for us to return our focus to the primacy of love as the engine driving the church, her teaching and her outreach.

John Paul II was the great refocusing moment in the life of the church to get us back on track and say no to the exaggerations and discontinuity. Pope Benedict put the nail in the coffin on the discontinuity.

Now comes Pope Francis who’s saying, “Why don’t we pick up where we left off: collegiality, synodality.” The synodality that Paul VI initiated has flowered under Francis. Those two synods on the family were unlike any of the other synods prior to them because they actually invited the bishops into the process in a transparent, open way.

Then came the emphasis in “Amoris Laetitia.” It told us that we have to get back, as the council said, to a moral theology that rests on scripture and Jesus’ command to love and to the virtues that are the signs of a moral life, not the rigid following of the letter of the law.

So, when I look back over these four years, I see that Francis has accomplished all this refocusing, even though we have a long, long way to go to begin to change the direction of an institution as big as the Catholic Church and to get it focused back again on the path that I believe the council set out on. I think what he has done is already a huge accomplishment.”

Call Me Jorge's design was rejected!

When we heard that Catholic University was having a design contest for the an altar and chair for Francis to use during his visit to the city of brotherly love, Philadelphia, we were interested.  When we found out the prize money was $6000 we became very interested.  After all, think of what we could do to this blog with $6000!  We immediately set about creating a table suitable for the Novus Ordo and a chair worthy enough for one as humble as Francis.  To finish it off we added the human touch of Solo cups, which Francis' prelates used during his outdoor Messes in Rio, Brazil and Manila, Philippines, and then added a nod to the root of his faith, Hasidic Judaism, on top of the picnic table.

and picnic table with Chasid menorah & Solo cups

Sadly, the Catholic University informed us that Team Call Me Jorge was not eligible to enter the competition as none of us were attending the school.  Our hopes for a wild card entry were also dashed by the president of the university.  Check out the winning entry below, we feel ours is not only more sustainable as it comes from already built materials but also cheaper and more suitable towards the banal tastes of Francis.

The Winning Design!!!

They better make that chair out of sturdy wood and make it double-wide.

A team consisting of Matthew Hoffman of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Ariadne Cerritelli of Bethesda, Maryland, and Joseph Taylor of Eldersburg, Maryland designed the winning entry.  They said, 

“Having our client be the pope really kept us driving through the whole process.”

and further explained,

their altar aims “to bring focus not on itself, but on the Vicar of Christ himself, who can preach from it.”

Monsignor Walter Rossi, rector of the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception where Francis will be holding court said,

finding a design in harmony with the church’s architecture was a key goal in the selection process, noting that the altar, pulpit and chair “had to be timeless because the shrine is timeless.”

Cardinal Donald Wuerl chimed in with his two cents,

“The creativity, beauty and thought that went into each of the submitted designs is a visible sign of God’s grace at work among us in a unique way.”

...Cardinal Wuerl also remarked on the “incredible task” the teams faced in having just two weeks to design an altar, chair and pulpit that will remain in the basilica “for generations and generations to see.”

Perhaps Team Call Me Jorge should have spent longer than 15 minutes on our design but we believe bringing a picnic table and dunk chair, both from the outdoors or from the peripheries of American life, inside of a Basilica is just the type of revolutionary statement Francis would want to make.  After all if one doesn't like the design they must be unreceptive to receiving the Holy Spirit and surprises from God, at least that's what Francis would say.  The University's President Mr. John Garvey summed up the competition, 

“This was truly an interdisciplinary effort.  Every school here has an important role to play in the life of the Church [and] making beautiful things is a way to find our way to God.”

In all seriousness, if that cardboard chair and table which won the competition are a thing of beauty then we have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell to anyone who is interested.

We at Call Me Jorge... wish we didn't always have to post stories like this but Francis is the company he keeps.  The article below is about rabbi Alvin Berkun. As usual, underlines are ours for emphasis. He is well known for his interfaith work and appearing on television as a representative of the Talmudic faith.   Lesser known is the work he has done trying to get the release of felon and traitor Jonathan Pollard.  Andrew Goldstein writes in the Jewish Chronicle,

Berkun believes that there is a chance Pollard can be freed, but it will take pressure on the White House, he said. 

Pollard gave secrets to Israel, but none of those secrets caused any harm or death to an American.  According to Berkun, individuals that gave secrets to other countries that caused harm to Americans have had lesser prison sentences than Pollard. 

“I can’t help but think there’s an element of prejudice,” he said, noting that he believes Pollard has been “singled-out.”

Fellow members of his Talmudic Jewish religion think very highly of Berkun as can be seen in comments made by the late Senator Arlen Specter addressing the Senate (click here to watch video).

Pittsburgh rabbi meets pope

June 25, 2013 4:00 AM

By Ann Rodgers 

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

A Pittsburgh rabbi attended Pope Francis' first meeting with an official Jewish delegation, where the pope strongly affirmed the Vatican II condemnation of anti-Semitism. 

"Due to our common roots, a Christian cannot be anti-Semitic!" Pope Francis declared, referencing a Vatican II document, Nostra Aetate, that emphasized the Jewish roots of Christianity. 

Using a favorite phrase of Pope John Paul II, he greeted his guests with "Dear elder brothers and sisters, Shalom." 

In his relationship with Jews, "this pope is as close as any pope could be," said Rabbi Alvin Berkun, rabbi emeritus of Tree of Life Congregation in Squirrel Hill and a past president of the Rabbinical Assembly, the international organization for rabbis in the conservative movement. 

"He is really very good for Jews, no question about it." 

Rabbi Berkun was among 30 representatives of the Jewish Committee on Interreligious Consultations to meet with Pope Francis on Monday. The group has been the Vatican's partner in dialogue since 1970. 

Rabbi Berkun has been involved for about half that time. He studied under Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, who helped the bishops at Vatican II draft Nostra Aetate. It denounced anti-Jewish bigotry, especially a popular notion that all Jews were "Christ-killers." 

When there are serious tensions in Catholic-Jewish relations, Vatican officials have been known to call Rabbi Berkun directly to explain their point of view. He credits Pope Benedict XVI with good intentions despite occasional gaffes, and has long honored Pope John Paul II for modeling friendship and respect for Jews and Judaism. 

But while Pope John Paul exercised his pre-papal ministry in a post-Holocaust Poland largely devoid of Jews, Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio worked alongside a thriving Jewish community before he was elected pope. 

"This pope's life intersected with all of those rabbis in Buenos Aires. He could have absented himself from those relationships, but they were very important to him," Rabbi Berkun said. 

He had met Cardinal Bergoglio during a 2004 meeting of the dialogue group in Buenos Aires. He visited a Catholic-Jewish project to help the city's poorest people with food and job training. There he took a photo of a priest and a rabbi walking together through a slum. He showed it to Pope Francis when they had a brief chat. 

"I also told him that Pittsburgh is the only diocese in the world that has the program where rabbis teach in the parochial schools. We've been doing it for 11 years now, and Catholic educators also come to our synagogues to talk about changes in Catholic-Jewish relations," he said. 

He was describing the Catholic-Jewish Educational Enhancement Program, in which rabbis teach the religion classes once a month at all Catholic high schools in the Diocese of Pittsburgh. 

The pope, he said, "appreciated hearing about C-JEEP in Pittsburgh." 

Although Rabbi Berkun is thrilled with the progress in Catholic-Jewish relations since 1965, he worries that it's known mostly to theologians, not ordinary Catholics and Jews. Pope Francis, be believes, can take the message to grass roots. 

"The church has clearly adopted [Nostra Aetate's] principles -- thus my audience today and the tremendous progress in interfaith relations in Pittsburgh," he said. 

"I would like to see, on the eve of the 50th anniversary of Nostra Aetate, the pope's promulgation and implementation to the believer in the pew. He surely believes anti-Semitism is a sin. His flock, especially in Europe, has to hear him say it again and again."
